Stay hungry, be smart
I’m one of those people who likes to plan my trips around my meals. There have been times when I created a spreadsheet of places that I wanted to visit, color coded by neighborhood and ranked by order of importance. This was not one of those times. This was my […]
This original post is from my Substack Newsletter, Musings of a Misfit Creative. Sign up for that here! I won’t always double post them, but this one felt fitting for the blog too. Enjoy. It’s a tricky question, but first you might be asking: who the hell is thinking about […]
A ton of people have been reaching out to me on Instagram recently asking for these suggestions! Certainly appropriate for the holidays since they are big on tourism (let’s not forget the giant tree in the middle of Rock Center), and they’re both “centers”, which is fun. Not going to […]
For those of you who are new here, hi. Hello. I love pizza. I have it tattooed on my arm, to give you some more context. Pizza is the food that I can eat pretty much any time of day, and I never ever get sick of it. I can […]
